*

I wanted vision like an altarpiece I saw,

Saints in conversation around Madonna and Child,

These poor fishermen wading in the surf become my Magi,

Green mountains robed in rain my sacred conversation,

Annunciation in the pure rising of the sun.

When shadows blanched and an aubade of lights showered across my face,

I’ll paint the walls, I thought. I’d trowel the cracks and lavish plasters.

I’d invite the sea, umbers of the earth, the limed pigments I’d brush

Would be coral roads through a frightful dark,

Dawn breaking on my own island at last, my symbols spare and cerulean.
